Romance Writers Weekly: Summer Activity #lovewritechat

Welcome to the romance Writers Weekly blog hop, where every week a great group of romance writers answer questions and accept challenges. Diverse in what we write, we are unified in the quest to bring you, the romance reader, a very happy ever after.

If you’re starting your blog hop here, or just hopping over from Jenna Da Sie’s blog, heeeey-o!!! Each week I look forwarding to sharing a little piece of my self with everyone! 🙂

Q: Summer is winding down. What’s your favorite summer activity? Can you do it at home or does it require travel? Did you get to do it this year? Does the activity ever make it into one of your books?

A: One of my favorite summer activities is riding my bike. This summer hubby and I actually visited Winter Park, Colorado and had our first downhill mountain biking experience. Usually we get on our bikes and cruise around the neighborhood or go camping and ride the trails of Texas, but this year we took it to a different level. I was a little scared at first because we don’t have “mountains” like that in Texas and I usually walk down all the big down hills because I’m scared. But we took a class and had an amazing teacher (Thanks, Jill) which helped my confidence level. I’m happy to say I didn’t fall off once and the view was absolutely beautiful. The only thing that scared the crap out of me was riding the lift without the bar down. To my defense, I didn’t know there was a bar until afterward. 🙂

Here’s one of the views while riding!

Pretending to be a pro!

Biking hasn’t come up in any of my books yet but I might have to change that considering I do it so much! 🙂
